C-Lovers Fish & Chips

Service was friendly and helpful. The Takeout special had 23 pieces of cod and enough fries for three people. It could have easily fed six. The batter was light and lovely. Coleslaw was well done also. Overall a great surprise for a very reasonable price!

I have been to this location twice now during my stay. The first time was a Monday and it was not overly busy. The second time was a Thursday and the place was packed! On both occasions I was quickly greeted and taken to a table. When I saw how busy it was I thought I would be in for a wait, but tables seem to turn over quite fast. The dinner rush began to calm around 6:45 so that sped things up as well.
As has always been my routine, I ordered the all you can eat fish and chips. By far the best bang for your buck. Service was very quick. I had a smiling server who seemed to enjoy her job. My drink was quickly brought to my table while I waited for my meal. Teamwork seems to be a big part of the success of this location. The servers helped each other out with food and drink running. Not something I would expect, but pleasantly happy to see.
When my plate arrived, it was fresh from the fryer. I could feel the heat coming off of it on my face. That’s a big deal for me. I know it hasn’t been part of a large batch that was cooked in advance of an order. I tucked into my piping hot fish and chips, slathered in tartar sauce and malt vinegar and just couldn’t stop. The fish tasted fresh, had no fishy taste to it at all and again, it was hot. A few minutes in, my server checked in to see how I was doing and offer a refill on my drink. As I continued to make a my way through my plate, it soon was gone. My server must have radar, because only seconds later she was at my table from across the dining room to offer me more. Again, I received a piping hot plate of fried goodness and I was happy. When that was gone I noticed her heading my way, again with the radar! I declined another helping and settled up.
Throughout the entire experience, I was welcomed and left with a warm feeling. The food was cooked to order and the value was great.

This is a really great place to come and enjoy some tasty well prepared fish and chips. It’s open concept leaves it bright and spacious feeling. The staff are very friendly and are really attentive. Great for bringing the family as they do have child options. The all you can eat is a really great deal and they offer a pint with the all you can eat for a couple of bucks. Even when it’s bustling and busy, the place runs great. Always a good experience.

Very tasty fish
Go here often with my 2 yo son
Sadly they lack the simple foods for kids his age
I had to order a full order of chicken strips ($ 12) for him to eat one strip and a few fries…

I have been going to C Lovers for about 10 yrs now. I used to think they were the best in town but after my last 2 visits, most resent tonight I don’t think I will return. The quality and portion size of the fish has diminished. The shrimp now comes to your table not deveined. When told the manager about shrimp veins on last visit, he says that’s how they come. Tonight waitress says that’s how they come. WTH. Nobody wants to eat shrimp poop. Also they have raised the prices by a couple bucks. More money, lower quality. Won’t be going there again. They’ve lost a once a week customer.

There’s a lot better fish and chips in the city. Even their famous onion rings, I’d say A&W makes them better.

Great food; if I want fish & chips, will go there again.

Walked in sat down ordered under 3 min, within 6 minutes hot fresh 5 pieces of Pollack, within 5 minutes of finishing waitress was taking second order and asked how many more pieces… Can’t beat that at all…
Batter is light not battery or thick which I hate, small pieces but offered us whatever we wanted, fries are fresh and not frozen WOW…
Only minor complaint tarter is dill version not my fav but GF liked it…
Under 5 min since second order and fish is here…, round 2
Very pleasant staff, the table next to us a customer couched twice and their server hustled over with a glass a water… impressed
Recommended !! Will be back again…
11÷19÷11 7pm $ 11.99 AYCE F&C, includes bottomless pop… ps in no way affiliated…

I feel the need to do a follow up as lately this famous place has some issues that seem to be rather unfair to the seniors and others that has just came to my attention:
Aug 2010
I and a party of 6 others had all you could eat fish & chips. 3 person /​s were seniors.
Came time to leave– Seniors have tea (Our severs not once mentioned this was not part of the deal– all you can eat, drink included)
They only had one plate couldn’t finish didn’t want to waste so asked for a bag to take home. Now that part was ok… If only they had first plate but because others had seconds they couldn’t allow this!!!
3 seniors were charged for their cup of tea because they didn’t have soda pop … wouldn’t allow them to take home their first helping: Due to the fact is others had a second portion.
I went to talk this out with the manager and he was rather rude and couldn’t even allow the tea … BILL WAS WELL OVER $ 75.00, and we were regular customers!
I felt this ordeal has put such a bad rinse in my mouth that as good as they may be to treat customers this way is uncalled for and because of there cheapness they have lost us. It wasn’t the pay out of the bill it was the fact more so of 3 cups of tea to seniors instead of pop :(Not impressed

Best fish and chips in town. Price could be a bit better. the quality of the food is great!
